The prosecutor has submitted the materials of the criminal case against A.A., the current head of the Noyemberyan community and the head of the Koghb community from 2005 to 2021, to the Anti-Corruption Court with an indictment approved on July 16, 2026:
The criminal proceedings have established that the former head of the Koghb community used his official position and powers contrary to the interests of the community and the state:
In particular, A.A., having learned that construction works would be carried out at the pump station located on the land owned by a legal entity with state funds, ensured that the result of the state investments became the property of the legal company:
For this purpose, A.A. unlawfully granted permission to "Hayjrmughkoyughi" LLC to carry out construction and installation works to improve the Berdavan pump station, which was built with state funds in 1999 on the land owned by a legal entity at the address of Koghb community, 1st street 31/1, and registered as a self-constructed structure since December 2009. As a result, works worth 82 million 83 thousand drams were carried out by the state body:
Subsequently, being aware that the mentioned structure was built with state funds and was not subject to legalization as a self-constructed structure, by a decision dated November 12, 2018, it recognized the pump station and its adjacent structures as legal in favor of the legal entity for 200 thousand 600 drams as a self-constructed structure. Consequently, the ownership right of the legal company was registered for the pump station on November 15, 2018:
The criminal proceedings have substantiated that as a result of the mentioned actions, the state suffered particularly large property damage amounting to 70 million 62 thousand drams. In particular, the state was forced to acquire the same immovable property along with the land plot from the legal entity in 2024 for 70 million 62 thousand drams, while previously it had already carried out reconstruction works of the pump station with state funds, investing 82 million 83 thousand drams:
The prosecutor has initiated public criminal prosecution against A.A. under points 2 and 5 of part 2 of Article 441 of the Criminal Code (abuse of official or service powers or the influence associated with them by an official):
A bail has been applied as a measure of restraint against A.A.:
On July 16, 2026, the prosecutor approved the indictment in the criminal proceedings and submitted the materials of the case to the Anti-Corruption Court.
